How to Collect Donations for TransFair USA
We hope you'll collect donations during your event! We have a few important instructions to follow, particularly if you receive cash from any of your guests. We encourage you to use the Donation Envelopes you'll receive once you register.
Accepting Checks:
- Checks should be made payable to: TransFair USA.
- Make sure that donors' names and addresses are on the check. We need this to be able to thank them.
Accepting Cash:
We do not encourage you to send cash through the mail. In order to send folks a thank you and receipt we need their name and address. SO, if you collect cash:
- Make sure you have each of your guests fill out a donation envelope with his/her name, address and cash gift amount.
- Collect the cash from your friends and send a single check for the combined total WITH the envelopes.
Credit Cards:
- Guests should feel free to donate using their credit card. The information needed is on the donation envelope.
Donating On-line:
- Feel free to have your computer on and with www.transfairusa.org up and ready to use! Go to the Donate page and donate on line instantly!
Note on Tax-deductibility:
- All donations are tax-deductible.
- We can only send a thank you note and receipt to those we names and addresses for. Please read the information about accepting cash donations carefully!
Thank you for supporting TransFair USA and the Fair Trade movement!
